Alkmamees is one of several refugees who attend the Parents Café, a social enterprise located in the grounds of Fairfield high school. Facebook Twitter Pinterest Founding the Parents Café was a way to reduce a sense of profound isolation. Performers, dressed in intricate gowns and elaborate gold headdresses sewn by women in the Parents Café, bang drums and stamp their feet, laughing. Confusingly, the Parents Café is not a real café (although Iraqis do come to chew the fat and drink tea).
